PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

We provide Adult Day Care to individuals who may require some supervision during daytime hours. Individuals with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other physical or cognitive limitations receive a quality activity and social program.

Medical monitoring and support are provided by a registered nurse and trained staff. Referrals to this program are made through a variety of sources including Area Agency on Aging, physicians, social service staff and individuals services.

Did you know that every day 10,000 people turn 65 in the US alone? That trend is going to continue for nearly the next 20 years. Our demographics are shifting, and we will soon have more elder people in the US than ever before. At the same time that the population is growing, we know that a startling number of elders face abusive conditions.

Every year an estimated 5 million, or 1 in 10, older Americans are victims of elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation. And that's only part of the picture: Experts believe that for every case of elder abuse or neglect reported, as many as 23.5 cases go unreported.

WEAAD serves as a call-to-action for individuals, organizations, and communities to raise awareness about abuse, neglect, and exploitation of elders. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) on June 15, 2006 is an effort to unite communities around the world in raising awareness about elder abuse.
